Baz Ashmawy and his mother Nancy cleaned up at the International Emmys last night. 50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy won the Emmy for the best non-scripted entertainment.Baz joked to RTE that US viewer’s genuinely believed he was actually trying to kill his mam Nancy. Oh America…..

“In the states there was a lot of backlash in the beginning because I don’t think they have the same understanding of sarcasm or irony that we have, they thought I was actually trying to kill my mother…When I was making Mammy I wanted to make something that was funny and was fresh and something that made people feel a bit sentimental about their family. I wasn't making it for awards or to sell or any of that stuff, but it's an amazing nod".
